lyrics

There's too many numbers in my phone
I'm calling them over and over
I swear I'm chasing the tail of every girl that I know
I'm playing it cooler than I have been
But if they kiss me or call me then it's over
I'll see us married with kids in my dreams before I see her again

So how do you feel
Tell me I'm wrong
You won't be the first to break the news before long
I've heard it before
The gesture was small and I'm just making it more

I'm crazy for thinking that I can
Just win them by working them over
I swear I'm destined to lose
Blow a fuse before I even begin
I'd only come to abuse, black and bruise anyone's love that I'd win

So how do I deal
I'm dead before long
And buried in pictures you've been send along
I'm out of control
The worst in me calls for more to fill in the hole
Whatever belongs
That mixtape of covers of your favorite songs I had to record
The gesture was small but hard for you to ignore

I'm pacing a groove through what's left of the floor tripping over my tongue
I'm pale-purple holding my breath reaching out for the kingdom to come

So tell me what's real
Help keep me strong
Help burst the bubbles my delusions prolong
It's out of remorse
The changes are small but help me keep them enforced
No luring me back
When I feel the itch and only need you to scratch
It's hard to reform
When desparately longing for what leaves is the norm

There's too many numbers in my phone

M. the Heir Apparent recommends:

if i shout that the revolutions in my blind heart have left me on the mend, would i still have to surrender to the tides to exorcise this possession?
by Field Medic

In a world of cookie-cutter songwriters, Field Medic is the real deal. I want to be just like him when I grow up. Favorite track on this album: "Flash Tattoos" M. the Heir Apparent
